    Can I hatch eggs treated with dewormer?

    I never dewormed my flock and at this point I was just waiting for worms to appear. Yesterday was the day; I saw a white worm swimming like an eel inside a mucous poop my favorite hen just dropped. So I treated my whole flock with Levamisole. According to the instruction, I have to repeat...

    Pullet laid 2 eggs then nothing. It's been 5 weeks since.

    This pullet laid her first egg on August 21, second on August 23, and then nothing. She's a very pretty pullet with no issues at all. She was born on March 3. What do you think? No hidden nests outside, I looked everywhere.

    Molt question

    My favorite hen is almost done molting. This is her first molt (she's a little over 1 year old). She hasn't molt her wing feathers yet. Will she molt them later or is she gonna keep her wing feathers for another year? Her sister is also molting, and she hasn't got new wing feathers either.

    Ferragosto adopt-an-egg hatch-a-long

    So my serial broody Peach decided to sit for the 3rd time this season. She is a freaky unbreakable broody machine that lays for a month, sits for a month, and wean the chicks in a month, rinse and repeat. So this time I'm gonna do my first hatch a long! The eggs should hatch on August 15...

    6 weeks old cockerels fighting to the death already?

    I hatched 6 cockerels on my last batch. My plan was to invite them to dinner at 3 months old. They are 2 bantams and 4 dual purpose. The 2 bantams decided to fight to the death today, which I didn't even realize because the fight was completely silent and they were fighting under some large...

    Interesting study about internal laying and egg yolk peritonitis

    Just stumbled into this article and thought it was worth sharing. Warning, graphic necropsies. https://nexusacademicpublishers.com/table_contents_detail/4/428/html

    Solved is there a way to see all the watched threads?

    I watched a thread that I wanted to read later that day, but nobody replied and it's now lost who knows where. Is there a way to see all my watched threads so I can figure out what it was? Thanks!

    5 weeks old, all cockerels?

    So my broody hatched 100% pullets last year and this year I'm expecting math to run its course. These chicks are: 2 Legbar x duckwing araucana ee 2 Legbar x salmon faverolle ee You can tell by the comb which is which. I have a feeling they're all males. What do you think?

    Guess the color

    Anyone wants to do a color guess of these 2 chicks in the center? Father is cream legbar, mother is the salmon EE in the pic. Don't mind the 2 dark ones. Their mother is golden duckwing so nothing exciting.

    Senile pigeon, would be ok to feed him some chickstarter?

    My pet pigeon is over 15 years old and he's reaching the end. He has congestive heart failure and he's developed a paralysis on his legs. I believe he's having difficulties eating his pigeon feed. I don't think chickstarter can make him much worse than how he already is, but just to be on the...

    Mild form on infectious bronchitis (NOT an emergency - resolved)

    This happened a few weeks ago but maybe it's worth sharing. I started my flock with 2 adult birds and then hatched everything else. I never added adult birds to my flock. One of the 10 months old pullets started sneezing one evening. - The next morning she had lack of appetite and didn't run...
